"I'm reporting to the City God, the immortal you invited to see outside the temple has arrived." Judge Wen reported to the Jimo City God.
The Jimo City God at the top of the throne raised his hands to Fang Jian and said, "I wonder where the immortal came from? What's the purpose of coming to our Jimo City God's Temple?"
Fang Jian summoned the Golden Talisman of the Heavenly Law, and in an instant the golden light of the golden talisman illuminated the entire Yin Palace.
"Fang Jian of the Heavenly Court came here especially to hand over the case documents for you." Fang Jian said quietly.
The Jimo City God at the head suddenly stood up and looked at the golden talisman of the day with a shocked expression. Then he hurriedly walked out of the big case, quickly walked down the hall and came to pay homage: "Jimo City God pays homage to Master Hongqing. I don't know if Master Hongqing is coming but I am far away." Welcome, please forgive me."
The surrounding ghost generals and Yin Cha also bowed down one after another: "Greetings to Master Hongqing."
Jimo City God quickly stepped forward and extended his hand to guide him: "Master Hongqing, please sit down."
"The priorities are different, how can we confuse them?" Fang Jian put away the golden talisman of the law of heaven and said, "City God, please take the seat. I, the poor Taoist, will take the second place."
The Jimo City God saw Fang Jian's solemn face and knew that Judge Tian was definitely not trying to be humble when he said this, so he had to accept it and led Fang Jian to the hall. Then the Jimo City God sat on the main seat, with Fang Jian next. Take a seat.
After sitting down, Fang Jian took out the case document submitted by Jimo City God and sent it to him with magic power and said: "Has the case been properly handled now?"
Jimo City God picked up the case book and read it, then shook his head and said: "Hongqing Master Hongqing, this case cannot be handled by Jimo City God Temple."
Fang Jian said: "The Dragon Girl of the East China Sea Dragon Palace marries a mortal without permission. Have you informed the East China Sea Dragon Palace?"
Jimo City God sighed and said: "I once sent people to the East China Sea, but they were kicked out without even entering the East China Sea Dragon Palace."
Fang Jian said again: "What is the situation of the dragon girl now? Tell me quickly."
Jimo City God nodded and said: "That dragon girl is the nineteenth daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. She was born with the body of a jade dragon. Now she is a true immortal. She first appeared in Jimo City six years ago and married Qiu Lian, the son of Qiu Rui, the prefect of Jimo City. My friend, he returned to the East China Sea Dragon Palace only a few months later and never appeared again. But four years ago, Qiu Lian, the son of the prefect, held a grand wedding. At that time, the official did not pay attention. But two years ago, there was no rain in Jimo City, and I I also know that the heaven has not issued an edict to rain, but suddenly a strong wind blew up at night and a heavy rain poured down. The official felt strange, so he went out to take a look and saw a silver dragon moving wind and rain in the clouds. In an hour, he was relieved. The drought in Jimo has been cured."
"Later, Qiu Lian, the son of the prefect, and his wife went to Guanyin Temple to ask for a son. When they passed by the City God's Temple, the official took a special look and found that Qiu Lian's wife was the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea." Jimo City God said slowly.
Fang Jian said: "Has your fellow Taoist ever had contact with this Dragon Girl from the East China Sea?"
Jimo City God said: "I have met her several times, and every time I advised her not to be greedy for the world of mortals, but she never listened."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Has she done any evil things in Jimo City?"
The Jimo City God shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that she often makes rain during droughts. Although it keeps Jimo's weather smooth every year, it goes against the laws of heaven, so it's really difficult for officials to deal with it. Besides, she has the power of a true immortal. I Even if the Jimo City God's Temple wants to take control of it, it is unable to do so, so we can only hand in the case and wait for God's decision."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "I already know about this, so leave it to me to handle."
Jimo City God quickly stood up and said: "Then there is Master Lao Hongqing."
Fang Jian waved his hand and left the Chenghuang Temple.
After Fang Jian left, the judges and ghost generals present slowly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Judge Wen only heard Judge Wen say: "If Master Hongqing takes action, it will be difficult for the Nineteenth Dragon Girl."
Jimo City God also sighed and said: "Since I have discovered this matter, I can't ignore it. It is my duty to report it."
Judge Wu said: "I think the Nineteenth Dragon Girl will be fine. After all, she is the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Master Hongqing must be wary of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, right?"
Judge Wen glanced at Judge Wu and said, "You are overthinking. If it were another heavenly judge, he might have given the Dragon King of the East China Sea a bit of mercy, but this Master Hongqing... you have forgotten, he is a member of the Lian Buddhism Sect." I dare to hit him in the face."
Jimo City God finally said: "Fortunately, the nineteen dragon girls did not do anything evil or break the rules, otherwise it would be difficult to say."
...
In the east of Jimo City, Yuzhu Garden is located in Shuangqing Street.
This is the residence of Qiu Lian, the son of the governor of Jimo, and his wife Shi Jiuniang. Qiu Lian and Shi Jiuniang are truly a match made in heaven. Not only are they talented and beautiful, but they also love to do good deeds and help the poor.
Especially Shi Jiuniang, if there were beggars and homeless people in Jimo City, she would definitely go there to give porridge and relief, and she was widely known as a virtuous person among the people of Jimo City.
At this moment, in the Baihua Pavilion in the backyard of Yuzhu Garden, a man and a woman are in the main pavilion.
The woman is wearing a frosty skirt embroidered with feathers, her jade face is as clear as peony and peach blossoms, bright and beautiful.
The man is wearing a green embroidered bamboo shirt and a hair scarf, and his face is elegant and gentle.
These two people were Qiulian and Shi Jiuniang.
Shi Jiuniang is painting. She draws lightly with a plain brush and outlines with a bright hand. On the scroll, there are flowers and hundreds of butterflies flying. It is the jade pen that depicts the beauty, and the plain hands hold the butterflies flying.
After finishing a painting of flowers and butterflies in a small courtyard, Shi Jiuniang raised her head and looked at Qiu Lian beside her. With bright eyes and white teeth, she handed over the brush in her hand with a charming smile, "Husband, write an inscription for me."
The wind blew people away, and even though they had been married for more than four years, Qiu Lian found that he was still unconsciously obsessed with his wife when he looked at her.
"Okay." Qiu Lian took the brush with a smile, and Shi Jiuniang immediately took a step back.
Qiulian stepped forward, dipped his brush in ink, and then wrote on the scroll:
The sky is clear and the clouds are gathering, and the wind is blowing from south to north.
The flowers in the garden are bright and fragrant, and the fragrance is thrown into the moon tower.
I still remember the first time I saw Hongtai: Indigo was like a mountain, and the sea of smoke was hazy. When I see a plain girl, I think about her all the time, and it is clear that I have pledged myself to each other.
The old age is prosperous, and the prosperity comes from the west to the east.
In the spring and autumn, the time is spent grinding together, and the knot is dancing in the sky.
Today, under the red gauze candle: My eyebrows weep with dew, and the rain moistens the hibiscus. Grinding your temples together, looking forward to picking them up, it is true that 'life is like a dream'.
When Qiu Lian put down the brush, Shi Jiuniang read it carefully. Her face immediately turned red. She bit her jade handkerchief lightly with her white teeth. She glanced at Qiu Lian and said, "Did you really miss me back then?"
"Is there still a lie?" Qiu Lian smiled and hugged Shi Jiuniang and said, "It is my blessing to be able to get such a fairy beauty like you in my three lifetimes."
When Shi Jiuniang heard this, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her face. She leaned in Qiu Lian's arms and quietly stared at the flower and butterfly picture in front of her.
A gust of breeze blew by, and the fragrance of flowers in the garden was overwhelming, but Shi Jiuniang's body trembled slightly, and her face immediately became solemn.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Lian asked quickly after feeling the trembling of his beloved wife in his arms.
Shi Jiuniang came out of Qiu Lian's arms and said softly: "Husband, I'm a little cold."
Upon hearing this, Qiulian immediately said, "Madam, wait a moment, I will go to the front yard to get you some clothes."
After saying that, Qiulian quickly left the Baihua Pavilion and disappeared among the lush flowers in less than a moment.
After Qiulian left, Shi Jiuniang immediately turned around and her eyes fell on a cluster of flowers behind the pavilion.
I saw the cluster of flowers swaying in the wind, and then a fairy light flashed through. Fang Jian was wearing a qingxia jade unicorn robe, holding a crisp folding fan, and looking at Shi Jiuniang quietly.
When Shi Jiuniang saw the qingxia jade unicorn robe on Fang Jian's body, her pupils shrank immediately, and then she cupped her hands and said, "Shi Jiuniang pays homage to God?"
Fang Jian returned the gift with his hand, and then said in a calm tone: "Is it Shi Jiuniang? Or is it the Nineteenth Dragon Girl?"
Shi Jiuniang frowned, but said nothing. She just looked at Fang Jian quietly.
Fang Jian said: "As the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea, and possessing a true immortality, don't you know that immortals and mortals cannot be combined?"
"My husband and I are in love, and we have treated each other as guests since we got married. I have never shown my magic power in front of mortals, and I have no interference with mortal rules. Please come to God's Mirror." Shi Jiuniang bowed to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian said: "Immortals and mortals are not allowed to marry. Since you are a dragon girl, you are not allowed to marry a mortal. I also want you to never disturb the rules of the world, so I can talk to you easily."
With that said, Fang Jian stretched out three fingers and said: "I will give you three days to end your mortal relationship and return to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to retreat. I will not let the past go. Otherwise, the law of heaven will be merciless!"
Shi Jiuniang frowned, then bowed and said politely: "God, my love with your husband has been established, how can we break it off just like that? God please have mercy. I only want to accompany my husband throughout this life, and wait for him to be reincarnated a hundred years later." , I will return to the East China Sea and never enter the mortal world again!"
"Shut up!" Fang Jian shouted sharply, and Shi Jiuniang was so frightened that she immediately heard Fang Jian say: "Every immortal has his own destiny, and this is determined by heaven. How can it be changed? As the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea, you are in heaven. Dragon Immortal, you should devote yourself to cultivation in order to achieve enlightenment, how can you indulge in love and enter the mortal world?"
When Shi Jiuniang heard this, she immediately retorted: "The law of heaven only stipulates that heavenly officials are not allowed to marry mortals. Although I am a dragon girl, I have no official position. I have been in the mortal world for four years and have never done any evil or interfered with the laws of the world. God, this Is it a bit unreasonable to force each other?"
Fang Jian nodded when he heard the words and said: "That's why I didn't arrest you as soon as I came up, but gave you good words to persuade you. You said that you had never interfered with the ordinary laws, but you were wrong. The Jimo City God reported that you were in trouble every time there was a drought in Jimo City. At that time, the clouds and rain will rise, is this possible?"
"Yes." Shi Jiuniang said: "There is drought in the world and crops will fail. If locusts appear again, people will starve to death all over the fields. May I ask God, am I wrong in raining rain?"
Fang Jian said: "Of course there is a mistake."
"What's wrong?" Shi Jiuniang asked unconvinced.
Fang Jian said: "When the sun is full, it will be wilted, and when the moon is full, it will be wilted. The sun and the moon still have gains and losses, let alone the mortal world? Floods and droughts are the common principles of the operation of heaven. How can there be a place in the world where the weather is smooth every year and where floods and droughts do not invade? When you meet Drought and rain are contrary to the laws of nature. As a true immortal, don’t you even understand this truth?”
Shi Jiuniang said: "Isn't the purpose of setting up the Immortal Official Priesthood in Heaven to protect the living beings and make the world smooth and the living beings live and work in peace and contentment?"
Fang Jian said: "But you need to know that wind and rain are determined, and floods and droughts cannot be decided by humans. Heaven governs the three realms and blesses the world with rain when it rains and drought when there is drought. If the world has good weather and prosperity everywhere, then It's not a good thing, it's a disaster. Besides, you're not the God of Rain, so how can you do this!"
Shi Jiuniang was still waiting to argue, but Fang Jian pointed at her with the crispy fan and said, "Don't say anything more. This is the rule of heaven. No matter how much you say, it's useless. I only give you a three-day deadline. After three days, I will give you the time limit." I will reply, if you don’t reply, you will be responsible for the consequences.”
After saying that, Fang Jian turned into a puff of smoke and left, leaving only Shi Jiuniang standing there, looking at the direction Fang Jian was leaving, stamping her feet, and letting out an annoyed snort.
